They contribute in ways that benefit them.

Microsoft only really embraced open source when its core business shifted from selling software (for which open source was a direct rival) to selling online platforms and cloud (for which open source is a useful tool).

On the other hand, the fediverse is not just an open source project, but a social network, and Facebook is in the business of showing ads and collecting personal information.
